Precision - Eliminate the Chatter.
Our razors are manufactured with the same Aerospace processes and in the same facility that produces components for the Mars Rover, International Space station, and production style work on Low Earth Orbit Satellites. This razor is designed and manufactured with extreme precision in mind. While most of our competition builds in allowance for casting and painting, Henson Shaving required and achieved remarkable five ten-thousandth of an inch (0.0005) tolerance on critical dimensions through the machining and anodizing process. This means your blade sits straight every time. The blade support creates the most accurate blade exposure on the market. Accurate blade exposure combined with our unique design means no vibration in the blade (or chatter). Chatter is what causes razor burn and in-grown hairs.

What this means for you is a noticeably better shave that just feels different. It truly is one of a kind.

Tungsten thrust bushing:
We have equipped our razor with a tungsten bushing which serves one purpose: to reduce friction while tightening the razor. This creates a smooth feel, with little torque required to clamp the blade in place. Tungsten has a very low coefficient of friction and is fairly hard, as well as being very corrosion resistant, so it serves well as a bushing in this application. Additionally, the reduced friction will result in less wear between the handle and the base plate.

Value - Don’t Spend. Invest. Whether you are currently purchasing disposable razors, razor cartridges at the drug store, or have signed up for a subscription program, investing in a Henson Al13 will have you seeing cost savings within the first year. The average user will get a month's worth of shaving from the 5pk of blades included. Additional blades can be purchased from anyone and it works out to about a dollar per month. 

The savings add up to be quite a lot over 20 years. Do the math. (Roughly $11,000 in savings over 20 years).

Having this razor at these prices took a substantial investment and our position is to not charge customers ongoing fees or trap them in continual subscriptions. We want to make a great product at a fair price. That's it.

Conclusion. We expect this razor to be drama free, cut noticeably better, and cost significantly less than what you are currently using now. Girls & Guys alike. Period.

Confidence Booster

After shaving with my dad's safety razor as a kid (almost bled to death), I finally mustered up the courage to try again. After many years of fear and then some encouragement from Brad, I made the leap. I went from shaving as a chore to enjoying the process. You owe it to yourself to enjoy the pure and simple design of this razor.

Fits my needs well

I have been getting excellent shaves with my Rockwell 6S. However I am 84 and my hands are becoming arthritic. The stainless razor is now too heavy for me. The Henson is much easier for me to hold. It also gives excellent shaves. The patterning on the grip provides a surprisingly good nonslip surface, even better than a standard knurled surface. Very pleased with this purchase, and as usual with Maggard's great service.

Wonderfully smooth razor

I enjoyed using the Maggard handle and head combination I purchased several years ago but recently found myself wanting something a bit more gentle and precise. I read many reviews on the Henson AL13 being one of the mildest razors on the market, and the claims are true in my case. I have virtually no irritation shaving with this razor, and I can even get away with shaving with just hot water when I'm rushed in the mornings. The AL13 is expensive, yes, but I think that it is well worth the money and will be a razor I use for many many years.

Henson Medium Razor - Wonder Shave

I had been using the same $20, double edge, safety razor, on and off, for about 10 years. I have tried a multitude of electric razors claiming and failing to give me a nice, hassle free, close shave. I avoided shaving because it has been very unenjoyable for me since I’ve started. I have curly facial hair that creates a myriad of ingrown hairs on my neck. I either have to shave often or grow my beard out. As you may know, deciding on which razor to buy is not that easy of a decision to make. I’m writing this review to help you make that decision. Buy this dang razor. I know the price is a little high, but upgrading from my $20 rattle-can razor is like night and day. It does seem too good to be true and I bounced around the thought of buying this razor or another more “traditional” style razor for a while. I trusted the reviews, bought it, and have loved it ever since. If you don’t want to go through the trial and error of finding the perfect razor, then just get this one. It’s straight forward and gets down to business right out of the box. Sure, the aluminum is lighter than some may enjoy, in my opinion, it doesn’t matter. If you want a no BS, easy shave, this is the one for you. The razor housing is solid and stays solid. I don’t feel the blade bite then slice through every hair follicle it passes. The housing does its job and holds that blade nice and firmly for a smooth clean shave.

Great razor

Like most people, I saw the ads mentioning the very specific blade angle and exposure and the blade clamping. I was wondering whether the hype is true and it is. Henson managed some wizardry on this one. With a combination of blade angle and exposure like no other razor I've seen before, they created a razor that feels very smooth, gives almost no blade feel and is highly efficient. The efficiency to blade feel ratio is incredibly high, which is definitely a huge win for people with sensitive skin. Maggard Razors was also very quick in processing my order and having it delivered, it took less than 3 days to receive my items from purchase date (in US). The parcel was also carefully packaged with padding to avoid objects moving and bumping into each other. I appreciate this level of carefulness and noticed immediately. Ordering from competitors in the past, I did not always get such well packaged parcels.
